Discussion journal of the Mössbauer Community

["Nagy, Denes Lajos" <nagy.denes AT wigner.mta.hu>]

Dear Colleagues,

the Mossbauer Effect Data Center (MEDC), in co-operation with IBAME, the 
International Board on the Applications of the Mossbauer Effect and the 
Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences proudly 
announces the public test regime of the new MEDC Directory, a further key 
element of the emerging Mossbauer Effect Knowledge Center.

In contrast to the old MEDC Directory, the new one is based on the active 
participation of Mossbauer spectroscopists who will take care of entering 
and maintaining their data including also direct links to their pages at 
bibliographic databases, scientific search engines, scientific social 
networks like Scopus, Google Scholar and ResearchGate by themselves. 
Thereby the new MEDC Directory may prove to be the seed of a future 
international association of Mossbauer spectroscopists. Moreover, the new 
MEDC Directory is directly linked to MIX so that new members joining the 
directory may request on registration to become subscriber to MIX.

The new MEDC Directory can be found at the MEDC webpage

     http://medc.dicp.ac.cn/

under "New directory (test regime)" or can be accessed directly at

     http://medc.dicp.ac.cn/directory/

At this address a page will appear where you may search for data of 
Mossbauer spectroscopists. Of course, at the beginning you will find only 
a few records but we are confident that the number of entries in the new 
directory will increase to several hundreds soon.

Please join the new MEDC Directory; entering your basic information will 
not take more than five minutes. Before entering your data, you will have 
to register which is possible at the right-hand side of the page. Having 
started registration, you will receive an automatic reply from the MEDC 
server containing an active link that will guide you to a page where your 
data can be entered. Having saved your entry, the MEDC staff will be 
notified. They will check your data and will publish them in the 
directory, as a rule, within a few days time.

Being in the test phase of this new service, you will be certainly faced 
with several problems or you may have ideas how to make the new directory 
more useful and comfortable. In such cases please do not hesitate to share 
your point with us. You may use MIX for this purpose by simply replying 
this mail (this will be received by all subscribers of MIX). 
Alternatively, you may wish to send a mail to the MEDC staff at

     
medc AT dicp.ac.cn

Enjoy our new service for the international Mossbauer community and share 
the idea of joining it with your colleagues.

With best regards,

Tao Zhang, Director, MEDC
